Okay so longtime user of Android and iPhones. I've had every flagship since iPhone 2g and Htc Hero. Just left my iPhone X for the baby Pixel 2 and once Verizon got $300 off Xl I picked that up so I now have both and am torn because I love size and screen quality of baby Pixel but hate bezels. Where as Xl I have the screen colors and it's a big phone. Both are so close to perfect save for bezels on one and a LG screen for the other. Anyone else in a similar predicament? Looking for others opinions as I'm going crazy trying to decide!

That's how I've always felt until the S8 and iPhone X. Having a fairly large screen on a still small sized has spoiled me. I appreciate your guy's feedback. This is sadly hardest decision I've had to make in a while

You might also want to check out the essential phone if you're looking for a large screen with a small footprint.
I almost pulled trigger on one especially with one of new colors but camera quality and no lag are my biggest priorities so Essential doesn't really seem like an option unfortunately because I was geeked for Essential and even pre-ordered but after delays and other reviews I cancelled

I came from a Note 8 and chose the baby pixel 2...I didn't really like the way the 2xl fit in my hand...I know the 2 has bezels, but coming from the note 8 I found the 2xls side bezels a bit weird...just my crazy view lol
Lol.. side bezels? Most people poke jabs about the forehead, not the side bezels! I too came from a note 8 and love the pixel lineup. And as far as the pixel 2 bezels go... Let's not forget that the iPhone has had monstrous bezels since inception and they have a cult following!
Sometimes I miss having the larger screen (previous phone was Moto G4 w/ 5.5" screen,) but I like the smaller overall footprint on the non-XL Pixel 2. The top/bottom bezels are surely annoying, but the rest of pros of the device make up for it.
Yeah the Xls poor screen quality is my biggest complaint but putting it in saturated mode did make it nicer...

After having several larger phones I much prefer a smaller device as it is just easier doing anything from pocketing it to holding it IMO. The bezels I don't even notice in my daily use. Much like the iPhone X's notch perhaps. If bezels are a bother than get something different. The smaller pixel was the best choice for me, but sounds like the bezels bother you to much OP.
I do hate them but between sheer size and bad screen quality I think I'm just going to stick with the baby pixel. Thank you for everyone's input

Pixel 2 XL 128. I want a pocket computer with an excellent camera that just happens to have a phone in it. Large size is important for how I use it and I find it pointless to to try to use it with only one hand.

Whenever I see posts like this all I can think of is the world needs a Pixel with hardware by Samsung.
